Welcome to another season of Parks & Recreation! It’s hard to even begin thinking about winter, when Minnesota is now having the best weather of the year. I love fall! Right now Owatonna truly exemplifi es the tagline ~ “The City of Friendliness and Beautiful Parks”…these near-perfect temperatures get neighbors and community members outside to exercise, play and interact with each other. And have you seen our parks lately? The crew has put in a lot of work to recover from our unstable summer of wet, then dry, then wet…and have them in beautiful shape. And in the next few weeks, the fall colors will be in full swing. I certainly hope you have a chance to get out and enjoy the crisp breeze and beautiful scenery! Talking about scenery…I’ll take this as the perfect time to remind you that you have until Friday, October 31st to enter the Owatonna Photo Contest. There are three different categories and a people’s choice winner. Whether you enjoy snapping away at historic sites, landmarks, or wildlife, beautiful scenery and people enjoying the parks; there are plenty of opportunities around town! Get those kids out there with a camera too…there’s a special category for 17 and under. This brochure has us looking ahead to some very popular returning programs, some “new & improved” programs and MANY new programs. Be sure to take a look at SeniorPlace programming. They are fi nding some amazing ways to have intergenerational programs…we hope you give them a try! We’re also looking ahead to some great new events for the whole family! A couple big ones are the Trick or Treat Trail on October 25, Darn Near Full Moon Festival on January 4th and the Boot Hockey tournament on February 7th. Our staff is working hard to come up with new, exciting, family friendly activities! If you have any suggestions, please feel free to let us know. In the same way we look ahead to offer our programs, we fi nd this as a time to look back at our past year and take inventory of what we did well and things we can change. Status quo is not what you should expect from our department, so along with staff members and the Park Board, we are looking at changes for 2015! We tried a few new things last year and have learned a few things! Munchkin Market, where youth are able to have their own garage sale table, was a HUGE success! We had 40 kids participate, many people buying, and lots of entertainment. Bark & Rec was another new adventure, and we had more than 500 people and pooches visit vendors. We already have disc dogs lined up for this year’s event! Munchkin Market and Bark & Rec are combining forces this year, and both will be held on April 25th.

Boat & Water Safety was another success, with youth and adults learning what they can do in water emergencies, and youth working toward their certifi cates to operate boats and jet skis. This year was also our fi rst year to have four brochures. We did this so that you can have more timely and accurate information. We realize and understand that this was quite a change from the past and we will be tweaking this process in 2015 so that our deadlines and seasons match a little better. Thank you for bearing with us through this, and please feel free to offer suggestions. On the facility side, three HUGE successes were (don’t even ask me to put them in order, they’re all great!): The Patio at Brooktree – what an amazing place to hang out with friends, golfer or not! You can’t beat great food and great conversation! The Clubhouse Playground at Manthey Park – we’re excited to have the fi rst one of these play-grounds in the entire state! With equipment appropriate for ages 2 and up, it’s a great place to take the kids. The Dog Park at Lake Chase – we were so happy to fi nd a way to repurpose fencing and other itemsthat we had, to make this a reality! It had been in the plan for many years, but always seemed to be cutfrom the budget. I just wish we had a visitor count of how many pups explore the park each day…I’msure it would be out of this world! We hope that you are enjoying the ease of using our registration program, MaxSolutions! We’ve just completed our fi rst full year with the program and have had a huge increase in the amount of people registering on-line now that there is no additional fee. Max has allowed us to keep in touch better with our customers through e-mails we can focus to customers with certain interests of past program participants. If you haven’t already, be sure to check out and like our Facebook pages: Owatonna Parks & Recreation, Owatonna SeniorPlace, Brooktree Golf Course, River Springs Water Park, and our latest page, Owatonna Dog Park (be sure to click on the one with the Park & Rec logo). And, for all of our up to date information, add our website to your favorites! Enjoy this Fall in your parks and get ready for the many winter activities!

Therapeutic Recreation ProgramOur program offers a variety of leisure options for youth and adults with disabilities. We provide an adaptive format as well as opportunities for inclusion. Our policy within the Therapeutic Recreation program is to plan for the person first, the disability second, and to encourage the independent pursuit of personal leisure interests. Our goal is to make recreation and leisure choices available to everyone, and our objective is to accommodate individuals with necessary adaptations so they may participate as fully as their non-disabled peers.

Membership Benefits:• A newsletter six times a year, providing a calendar of trips, special

events, weekly scheduled activities and program information.• Transportation to local activities for members within city limits, for

Night Club programs.• Experienced Park and Recreation staff facilitating programs and

events.• Discount on membership fees to the West Hills Tennis & Fitness

Center• Access to resources and agencies such as ADD, Special Olympics,

PACER and other advocates for persons with disabilities.• Scholarships and financial assistance available upon request.

Inclusion in Youth ProgramsYouth with disabilities or health concerns are encouraged to participate in youth sports, aquatics, trips and summer programs. The inclusion policy of the program provides all children registered to participate with an equal advantage. Adaptive equipment, program modifications and other accommodations are used to assist the individual as needed. Individualized consultation with parents and coordination with the coach or instructor helps make the transition possible. In addition, all coaches, aquatic staff and summer staff receive resource information for working with the child in their training sessions. Requests for one-to-one assistance is provided when possible. When enrolling your child in sports and other

programs, please let staff know of medical conditions or other special needs. Information shared with a coach or instructor is confidential.

Adapted Groups

Teen ClubThis activity group is designed for ages 14-22 who have developmental disabilities and would benefit from social interaction and a place to go to meet friends. Activities include structured crafts, games, local trips, tours, and attending OHS events as a group.

• Meets weekly, Thursdays 6:30-8:00pm, locations include SeniorPlace and other sites.

Night ClubThis social group is designed for adults 22 years and older, who have developmental disabilities and mental health issues. This group is an extension of Teen Club and functions similarly. Activities are more age appropriate for adults, as we encourage the independent pursuit of leisure interest whenever possible. Night Club is a place to establish and cultivate friendships through recreation.

• Meets weekly, Wednesdays 6:30-8:00pm, locations include SeniorPlace and other sites.

• Transportation provided to members in city limits for a minimal fee, riders must call Owatonna Bus Company for pick up.


LIFELIFE (Leisure Is for Everyone) is a leisure education program designed for individuals with disabilities, 20-35 years old. Members of the LIFE group learn skills necessary to make the most of their leisure time. While keeping involved in recreation activities and pursuing new friendships, they also learn to plan and organize their daily schedules outside of work using a personal planner. Our goals are to explore personal leisure interests and community resources; develop an understanding of self-advocacy and personal independence, and learn the rewards that come from volunteering. We encourage members to attend without staff, if possible. This group serves as a transition program between Teen Club and Night Club, and members will learn the importance of choosing and planning leisure options.

• Meets weekly, Wednesdays 4:30-6:00pm, locations include SeniorPlace and other sites

• Personal planner is required, planning sessions held every 6 weeks
